Covfefe is a symptom of an audience keen on conspiracy theories. He procures and sells goods that the трамповата market wants to buy:

... Crowdstrike..
Popular as the theory has been in the conservative-conspiracist echo chamber, it hardly stands up to scrutiny.... Nonetheless, Trump appears to focus on the alleged Pinchuk-Crowdstrike connection in his call with the Ukrainian president.

Trump’s second conspiracy theory is better known. It contends that Joe Biden, then the U.S. vice president, got former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin because the latter was investigating Burisma..

In fact, none of the three prosecutors general who served under Poroshenko, including Shokin, made any serious attempt to investigate Burisma, and all contributed to burying the case. It’s impossible to determine now whether the Biden-Burisma association had anything to do with that, even though Hunter Biden’s board appointment – which came soon after U.K. prosecutors froze the firm’s assets - was transparently meant to help Burisma weather the storm.

During his call with Zelenskiy, Trump couldn’t have been playing to the crowd: The conversation was never supposed to be public. This suggests that the U.S. president actually believed the theories he aired. And now, Trump’s decision to release the rough transcript – even though it contains more damning evidence of a quid pro quo than anyone had expected – suggests that he intends to employ the theories in his election campaign.

The conspiracy theories can allow Trump to hammer Democrats with corruption accusations of his own, even as they try to impeach him. He can say their attacks on him are funded by Ukrainian oligarchs and that Biden, the Democratic front-runner, is linked to them, too, through his son. Trump knows that the dot-connecting doesn’t have to be fact-based or convincing to cause real damage. And he knows partisan voters will ignore any inconvenient evidence.
